I've filled out the application form and included my partner on this, however I'm unsure as to whether I need to send this to London or to Sydney, Novia Scotia, Canada? I heard something about a fast-track programme and how the process has changed, but can't find any info on this?
Also, do I need to send all notarised documents now or just send the application form without these and send later when advised?
There seems to be conflicting instructions on the main application guidance notes versus the local visa office specific notes. Help!
Thanks in advance

It state clearly on CIC website:-

5. Submit your application
Mail your application and your fee to the Centralized Intake Office for Federal Skilled Worker Applications in Sydney, Nova Scotia (Canada). For more detailed information, including courier and mailing addresses, consult the federal skilled worker application package.
Please note: You must submit your federal skilled worker application to the Centralized Intake Office and not to the visa office responsible for your country of nationality or residence, as was the case in the past.
For more detailed information, consult the Federal Skilled Worker Application Package.
New: All applicants in the Federal Skilled Worker Class, must submit their initial application to the Centralized Intake Office in Canada as of April 1, 2009.
The fast track application is nothing but new 38 occupation list application. CHC say that they will process these applications fast i.e. within one year.
You have to send all required documents with your initial application. They will ask you once again for updated documents when they start processing your file.
Good Luck!
